MONMOUTH — Monmouth College’s free Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program will be available to area residents beginning Feb. 3.

Through April 14, Monmouth accounting students and faculty will be on hand in the college’s Center for Science and Business to help local community members file their 2017 tax returns.

The free service — which assists taxpayers in filing state and federal individual income tax returns — is provided in partnership with the IRS.

Sessions will be held on most Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays between Feb. 3 and April 14. VITA will not be available during the college’s spring and Easter breaks: March 3, 5, 7, 10 and 31 and April 2.

Saturday sessions are scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. Monday and Wednesday sessions will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Sessions will be held in the Center for Science and Business, located in the 700 block of East Broadway.

On evenings and weekends, parking is available in the Center for Science and Business lot and along Broadway. Before 5 p.m., visitors are encouraged to park on Broadway.

To be eligible to participate in the program, taxpayers must have a maximum annual income of $62,000 for single filers and $99,000 for joint filers.

Peterson is assisted in her direction of the program by accounting department colleague Connie Mersch.
